If it doesn't, we can change it, so it's not a problem.

That's how things are, by design (tho you can tweak your "git log" to
also output the author date, if you want), so the confusion is not due
to the "--date" argument (and can be fixed after the fact if we decide
so, whereas retroactively fixing the author-date is a lot more
difficult).
